The Fall of Roe Podcast is hosted by a forty- year veteran of the service-provision side of abortion rights. Chris Charbonneau caps her career as Planned Parenthood’s longest serving CEO with her new stint; guiding us through what is happening on the ground to people seeking abortion care as Roe falls. She interviews movement colleagues throughout the Country, and clarifies the implications of the looming (and actual) disaster unfolding in the USA, not from a legal perspective, but explores the human toll.

State of Roe: Indiana
If you're a woman, girl, or anyone with a uterus who finds themselves pregnant in Indiana, please know that it is an unsafe state. The Indiana legislature broke speed records in their rush to make abortion illegal or inaccessible.

State of Roe: Kentucky
Kentucky's legislature put its trigger law into motion almost immediately after the Dobbs decision, despite challenges from the courts. While the supreme court will be taking up arguments against this ruling in November, until then Kentucky is unfortunately an unsafe state.

State of Roe: Mississippi
Mississippi is both the poorest state in the union and the most unsafe in the country if you need an abortion. Following the fall of Roe, Mississippi no longer has a clinic anywhere within its borders that provides abortions.

State of Roe: Georgia
Georgia has a long history of hostility toward reproductive freedom, with the state legislature having rejected many opportunities to make the state more egalitarian and improve protections for those with uteruses. Almost as soon as Roe fell, the Georgia legislature made an immediate move to pass a six-week abortion ban, a small political majority making life significantly more difficult for a huge part of their constituency. Furthermore, Georgians seeking abortions are confronted by a 24-hour waiting period and, when it is legal for them to abort, the procedures are not insured and the patient must pay out of pocket.
With anti-choice Governor Brian Kemp up for reelection in November, those registered to vote in Georgia should make their way to the polls and vote him out if we want to even begin to see progress.

State of Roe: Alabama
Cutting right to the chase, Alabama is an unsafe state. On June 24th of this year, Alabama effectively passed a total ban on abortion, with exceptions only being made to save a patient's life or protect their well-being (both of these being nebulously defined).
One saving grace is that the state allows Alabamians to travel out of state to seek an abortion without the risk of facing prosecution. Please check out our list of in- and out-of-state resources below if you need any guidance.
